complie fails on _set_error_mode(_OUT_TO_STDERR)
by Sean Mitchell Nov. 27, 2002

Nov. 27, 2002

Hullo All.... I think I've found another missing bit. My compile fails on _set_error_mode(_OUT_TO_STDERR) because it seems that none of the modevals are defined in msvcrt/stdlib.h http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/ vcref_set_error_mode.asp I'll just use an integer for now, but this might warrant looking at... again, is it appropriate for me to open a bug for this?

Announce: Vstserver, vstlib, vstladspa and k_vst~
by Kjetil S. Matheussen Nov. 27, 2002

Nov. 27, 2002

VSTServer V0.0.1. ----------------- First release. Beta, but usable. ABOUT Vstserver is a wine program that must be running when using programs using vstlib. Vstlib is a library that can be used by programs to run windows vst audio plugins under linux/freebsd/i386solaris/etc. RUNNING Vstserver is started like this: "wine vstserver.so". You probably want to set the "VST_PATH" environment variable pointing to your plugins first. DEVELOPMENT Vstserver is released under the GPL, and vstlib under LGPL. If there comes many source-contributions, I will probably make it a sourceforge project. To use vstlib in a program, look at the tests/exampleclient program, and various vst plug-in documentation. The interface to the vstlib consists only of two functions (new/delete), the rest is like you would do when programming for windows, macos(X), beos, irix, etc. CURRENT STATUS Vstserver seems to be very stable. I have not found any plug-ins that wont run, and I am not able to hear any latency. And plug-ins does not seem to cause more cpu-power than under windows. No GUI or graphics-support yet. BUGS 1. When running the ladspa "listplugins" program many times in a row, I get the following errors before the server freeze: err:local:LOCAL_GetBlock not enough space in GDI heap 01f7 for 24 bytes err:region:CombineRgn Invalid rgn=0000 err:local:LOCAL_GetBlock not enough space in GDI heap 01f7 for 24 bytes err:region:CombineRgn Invalid rgn=0000 err:local:LOCAL_GetBlock not enough space in GDI heap 01f7 for 24 bytes err:region:CombineRgn Invalid rgn=0000 err:local:LOCAL_GetBlock not enough space in GDI heap 01f7 for 24 bytes err:local:LOCAL_GetBlock not enough space in GDI heap 01f7 for 24 bytes err:local:LOCAL_GetBlock not enough space in GDI heap 01f7 for 24 bytes err:local:LOCAL_GetBlock not enough space in GDI heap 01f7 for 24 bytes err:local:LOCAL_GetBlock not enough space in GDI heap 01f7 for 24 bytes err:clipping:CLIPPING_UpdateGCRegion hVisRgn is zero. Please report this. I dont know what this is. Its not errors coming from the vstserver program. It seems to be related to X, allthough no graphics is used in the vstserver. I hope its just the buggy libXrender.so library that wine shouts about each time it starts. 2. Shared memory handlig might be faulty. I suspect that it doesnt free resources. (see server/shmhandler.c) 3. I havent read the vst plug-in documentation yet, and dont know everything about it. This especially goes for the "AudioMasterCallback" function, which for now just returns 1. I guess some more work needs to be done in this area, and for the various dispatch opcodes too. 4. The processReplacing function in vstlib should perhaps be made just by calling the process fuction. But I dont understand the difference between processReplacing and processing. FUTURE Add GUI and graphics support to the server (help wanted). And maybe make a DX-plugin server. (would be fun running pi-warp under linux). CREDITS vstserver and vstlib are made by Kjetil S. Matheussen / Notam. k.s.matheussen(a)notam02.no Some programming hints is gathered by looking at the pd vst-object plugin~ source and the jack soundserver source. vst ladspa plugin v0.0.1 - alpha --------------------------------- Makes vst plugins located in $VST_PATH appear as ladspa plugins. I'm not sure how well this one actually works. The northpole plugin seems to work, but others don't. Oh well, its alpha for now. k_vst~, a Pd tilde object for hosting VST plug-ins. --------------------------------------------------- This is really just the plugin~ source made by Jarno Seppänen, but with a few lines changed (very few that is) to make it work with vst-plugins using the vstlib. The name was changed from plugin~ to k_vst~ to avoid nameclash with the plugin~ object running ladspa plugins. This object is for i386 non-windows (ie. linux/freebsd) only. This one works very well! ------------------------- vstserver, ladspavst and k_vst~ are open-source programs made at Notam / Oslo, and can be downloaded from from http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/ --

Help needed - CreateScalableFontResource
by Shachar Shemesh Nov. 27, 2002

Nov. 27, 2002

Hi list, We have in Israel a lawyer who has cought on to the idea of open source, and is helping "The Cause"(tm) here quite a lot. As part of his activities he is wants to demonstrate a Hebrew law and precedance lookup program at a conference on Dec 2nd using Wine, and he asked for my help. When trying to run the program, I get the following error: sun(a)sun:~/c/PD_OR/EXE$ LANG=he_IL wine PDWIN G Could not stat /mnt/fd0 (No such file or directory), ignoring drive A: err:fixup:NE_LoadSegment No implementation for USER.485, setting to 0xdeadbeef err:fixup:NE_LoadSegment No implementation for USER.485, setting to 0xdeadbeef err:fixup:NE_LoadSegment No implementation for USER.485, setting to 0xdeadbeef err:fixup:NE_LoadSegment No implementation for USER.485, setting to 0xdeadbeef err:fixup:NE_LoadSegment No implementation for USER.485, setting to 0xdeadbeef err:fixup:NE_LoadSegment No implementation for USER.485, setting to 0xdeadbeef err:fixup:NE_LoadSegment No implementation for USER.485, setting to 0xdeadbeef err:fixup:NE_LoadSegment No implementation for USER.485, setting to 0xdeadbeef err:fixup:NE_LoadSegment No implementation for USER.491, setting to 0xdeadbeef fixme:win:stub_USER_490 stub fixme:font:CreateScalableFontResourceA (0,"C:\\PD_OR\\FONTS/AMIR____.FOT","C:\\PD_OR\\FONTS/AMIR____.TTF",(null)): stub fixme:font:CreateScalableFontResourceA (0,"C:\\PD_OR\\FONTS/AMIRBLD_.FOT","C:\\PD_OR\\FONTS/AMIRBLD_.TTF",(null)): stub fixme:dialog:MSGBOX_OnInit task modal msgbox ! Not modal yet. The application then goes on to display a error message saying (In hebrew) "The fonts for the application could not be found, please reinstall...". The fonts are indeed available in C:\PD_OR\FONTS as TTF files. It seems the application calls CreateScalableFontResource, and then tries to register the fonts. Copying the TTF fonts to the fonts directory did not solve this problem. I am looking for some solution, even a workaround, that will solve this problem for me. I have contact with the application's developers, and they are very interested in getting this to work (not interested enough to actually install Linux, but they are interested enough to answer technical questions about the app). My questions: A. Is there any way I can patch Wine to fool the app into thinking that part succeeds? Or is performing this test necessary, for some strange reason, in order to use the TTF fonts? B. It MAY be possible to ask the developers to actually modify their code to a moderate degree, in order to get this app to work. Is there anything in particular I can ask them? C. Is anyone working on this API? I don't know the first thing about font files and resources, and while I CAN learn, is someone with already existing knowledge can do something about it, it would be much preferable. Thanks, Shachar

Getting DirectX emulation to work
by David D. Hagood Nov. 27, 2002

Nov. 27, 2002

Since I can no longer get OpenGL textures to work under Wine, I'd like to try to get the DirectX emulation working. However, when I configure an app to use DirectX, I get a "You have selected a mode your graphics card does not support" message. Since the color depth and resolution are the same as OpenGL settings that work (save for the hosed textures), I would think this should work. Are there some magic registry entries that need to be created?

I told my boss that I posted the query last night and had a response with a fix waiting for me this morning. He is lukewarm about Open Source, but when I told him about this he was very, very impressed. He's never seen that sort of response from a commercial vendor except in a few emergency situations. Incidentally, should I open a bug for this, or is it already committed to the tree? Cheers, Sean

Re: Winelib Apps v0.1

very nice site. but there is one ( very ) small i would like to see. i think colors should represent the status of winelibs mozilla has a yellow color ( but does not run ) once a prog runs ( putty ) it should be green ( or some other color ) this way we can easily see what works and what does not perhaps we could include a link to the project website as well ?

tools/wpp, ppdebug

Nov. 27, 2002

Hi! I'm trying to compile recent versions of wine with Debian Sid. My compile stops in wpp saying that variable ppdebug is not defined. I added line int ppdebug=1; in wpp.c, and it compiles. Am I missing something, or is this a bug? Thanks, Eleknader

Re: Coding standards
by David Laight Nov. 27, 2002

Nov. 27, 2002

> I found a couple that used ~4space indent, and used tabs too (they > seemed to expect 1tab = 8, as the code looked neat in a standard text > editor). Probably vi with autoindent, tabstop=8 and shiftwidth=4 (my preferred indent). More fun can be had arguing over whether to do: if (...) { ... } else { ... } or: if (...) { ... } else { ... } or: if (...) { ... } else { ... } If you have a paper listing you definitely need '} else {' on a single line. Otherwise you lose track of the control flow when reading it. (Never mind that you get many more lines on a page/screen.) Of course the opening '{' for a function MUST be in column 1. A coding standard really ought to discuss namespace usage and pollution. Any reasonable layout is usually ok. (OTOH I much prefer that tab stops be at 8 character intervals.)

Hello people, How can i improve performance in GUI applications under wine? I have a cobol application here made with microfocus netexpress and I can see the button icons reloading every type I refresh the screen. I'm using wine from CVS with a PIII 900Mhz redhat 7.3 box.
